Figure 1.-- Here is a wonderful cabinent portait of the four children in an unidentified Halberstadt family. CDVs were still common in Germany during the 1890s, but we also bein to see cabinent cards. Unfortunately the parents are not pictured, but we see how both boys and girls dressed. The children look to be about 5-10 years old. The girls may be twins.

Here is a wonderful cabinent portait of the four children in an unidentified Halberstadt family. CDVs were still common in Germany during the 1890s, but we also bein to see cabinent cards. Unfortunately the parents are not pictured, but we see how both boys and girls dressed. The children look to be about 5-10 years old. The girls may be twins. The youngest boy wears a knee pants sailor suit with a lanyard. Charmingly he has a whip for his toy pull horse. I'm guess ing that the toys are studio props. The older boy has no childish toys. He wears a long pants suit with high lapels. Note the napoleonic pose. Thevgirls seem to be wearing identical jacketed dresses. One girl has a basket of flowers. The other has a pram and doll. Again we are gressing that this is a studio prop. The children wear long stockings and high-top shoes.
